The enthusiasm displayed at the ; irst meeting of the democratic state •ommittee held at the Denison hotel, ndianapolis, Tuesdav is but another ign of what is going to happen next 11. With such spirit, with every .ction united, with the force of splend leaders, how could we lose? Auburn voted “dry” by twelve maority yesterday and Butler, also, in >eKalb county, gave the decisive majority of 110. Garret voted Monday and went “wet” by more than 200. The victory of the “drys” in Auburn was celebrated by the ringing of bells, and a big parade. Notwithstanding the close vote, it is said the election will not be contested. Adams county democrats will greet with much pleasure the fact that the district meeting for the purpose of electing a member of the state committee and a chairman of the Eighth congressional district is to be held in this city on Friday, December 29th. While located in the very northeast corner of the district, we are easily reached and any inconvenience in getting here will be made up by the cordiality and democracy of our welcome. We will receive you in the center of the banner democratic county of the state, where we all believe in the teachings of Jefferson and Jackson, and practice what we preach. Come on, boys. Volume two, number one of "The Booster,” a paper edited by the Decatur high school, was delivered from our presses today. It is a handsome eight-page paper, with cover, and one which should prove to every one the enterprise of our students. It is well edited and the staff, consisting of Paul Myers, editor-inchief; Orpha Sheets, associate, assisted by Virgil Krick, Forest Vail, Margaret Mills, Cleo Roop, Florence Myers, Jesse Cole, Frank Lose, Marian Archbold and Kenyon Walters, deserves much praise for their efforts. The next, number will be issued just before Christmas. The price is ten cents and it's worth it.

LOT SOLD TODAY Mrs. Stella Thomas Purchases Lot from the City School Board. WAS ONLY BIDDER Paid $3,000 Cash—Lot Was Bought Recently for High School Building. The sale of Cue Studabaker lot recently purchased by the city school board for the erection of a much-need-ed and desired high school building, ' w T as this morning sold by them to Mrs. Stella Thomas, for $3,000 cash. The sale as advertised was held this morning at 10 o'clock, at the law office of D. B. Erwin, Mrs. Thomas being the only bidder. This ends the controversy which has been on for some time between the school board and the property owners near the site of the proposed new school building. It will be remembered that the school board purchased the lot, for the new high school building, which was recommended by the state commission, aft er an examination of school conditions here. The Hattie Studabaker lot which adjoins the Central school prop- , erty on the south, was deemed desirable for the new building, which it was proposed to build on both the old and new lots, provided the alley between could be vacated. The vacation of the alley was remonstrated to by the property owners in that vicinity, among the chief ones being Dr. P. B. Thomas, whose residence is located just south of the Studabaker lot, he claiming that the school build- 1 ing would depreciate the value of his property and destroy the privacy of his home. The vacation was granted by the Allen superior court and preparations were made to appeal the case higher by the remonstrators, when the school board finally decided to selll the lot, and advertised it accordingly. : The purchase of the lot by Mrs. Thomas will doubtless bring an end to hopes I for the building of a school house near the Central building. The sale was deemed best by the board at this time, as with the present stringency of funds, the money can be used to goo-’, advantage elsewhere. CAUGHT BOY THIEF. Young Dewey Philipps, aged thirteen, was apprehended just in the nick of time this afternoon by Marshal Peterson, as he was about to board a • train for Portland. About 11 o’clock ( Marshal Peterson received a message j from Sheriff Fisher of Lima, giving the description of the boy and addi- ' tional information, and the marshal 1 here was on the look-out. The lad t had stolen a bicycle in Lima and had t ridden it nearly to Delphos, where he f sold it to some farmer and had walked t into Delphos. He remained there ail I night and then came over here this t morning via the Clover Leaf. He had t three dollars of the proceeds of the sale and other cash that could not be accounted for. He was intending to go on to Portland this afternoon to spend Thanksgiving Day with his r grandmother, a Mrs. Kirkendall, and t had his ticket to that place purchns- s

He was taken to jail aud will there await the arrival of the sheriff from Lima tomorrow, as it seems that he is wanted badly by the Ohio authorities. With the few hours at the disposal of the marshal he is to be commended for the quick manner in which he trailed the fugitive. NEW CHIEF ENGINEER.
